Job description

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

ABOUT THE TEAM
Anduril’s Manufacturing Safety Engineering team partners across Anduril’s manufacturing, engineering, and operations organizations to ensure our production systems are safe to build, test, and sustain at scale. As an engineering discipline, we design safety into the way products are made, covering the equipment, fixtures, test stations, and work instructions on the factory floor, rather than inspecting for it after the fact. Our mandate spans the production lifecycle, from new equipment and line design through ramp and sustained operations. We apply formal risk assessment and the hierarchy of controls to identify hazards early and engineer them out, partnering closely with our Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) experts, controls and manufacturing engineers, and production leadership to keep our people safe while moving at the speed Anduril demands.

ABOUT THE JOB
We are seeking experienced Manufacturing Safety Engineers to join our rapidly growing team in Huntsville, AL and engineer safety into how Anduril builds its products. As a Manufacturing Safety Engineer, you will apply formal risk assessment and the hierarchy of controls to production equipment, lift fixtures, test stations, and manufacturing work instructions, identifying hazards early and designing them out in partnership with EHS, manufacturing and controls engineering, and production teams. You will be the on-the-floor technical authority who makes our factories safe without slowing them down, from new equipment and line bring-up through ramp and sustained operations.
This is an evergreen requisition used to build a pipeline of Manufacturing Safety Engineers. This role is based in Costa Mesa, CA, and supports Anduril’s manufacturing operations, including sites at Quonset Point, RI and Atlanta, GA; specific team, site, and program assignments are determined during the interview process based on business need and candidate background.
